We have completed some large scale information graphics for Science Gallery’s latest show Surface Tension… “The future of water is the subject of tension.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
